The Alamodome has been home to hundreds of case investigators, working to limit the spread of COVID-19 in Bexar County. Investigators and contract tracers collect information from individuals and take that information to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Many of these employees were furloughed near the start of the pandemic and were reassigned to perform this critical work as a part of our city’s local response efforts.
